A New Year

I can't believe it is 13 January already and this is my first blog for the year! Happy New Year to my followers - hope it is a good one for you and I look forward to sharing more of my creations throughout the year.

Over at Stamp Something Challenge this week, the theme is Digital - stamps and backgrounds. For this card, I used a digital image from Joanna Sheen's Vintage Birthdays for the background paper and an image from Cuddly Buddly (Liliboo Girlies12) which I coloured using my Copic markers.
The sentiment is from Stampers Anonymous and is one of Tim Holtz Odds and Ends.

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.

When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.

Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
